Whats the easiest way to get the spark plugs out?

The Green GT · Feb 24, 2006

I got teh ones on teh driver side out with just a little bruise on my forearm, but I cant even get my socket in the area where the passenger side ones are. Im guessing the easiest way is to take off the intake tubing?

Yup, just pop off the intake tubing and you'll find the passenger side is even easier than the driver's side.

not the only sh-t u need to wrestle with is the smog stuff in the way.

Paitences. The passanger side rear I use a "wobble extension" & it comes out with no problems.
Do need to be a contorsionest to get to some of them.

The last one was the hardest on. I could have gotten it out SO mush easier if I would have had another extension. Anyway, it took me about an hour to get the 4 on the pass side off. But this was my first time taking them off this car.

That doesn't sound like something for the smog pump. That sounds like the EGR to header pipe. I wouldn't remove that FOR GOOD unless you study the effects thereof first.

EDIT: whoops .... looks like you're all finished.

BTW, removing all the smog stuff made it so much easier for me to access the plugs. If you don't need it in your area .... I recommend tossing it.

No emissions checks, So its going to be going soon.

As a last resort you can pull the passenger tire off and open up the fender, I did that when I was fighting the headers and got a better angle....
